PDP WILL NOT DIE --- GOV UMAHI.

Ebonyi State  Governor  David Umahi has assured  that the  challenges confronting  the Peoples Democratic Party at the national  level  will not lead to its death.

 Umahi gave the assurance during a Christmas dinner  he organised  for the  state Working Committee of the PDP  as well as the  local and  zonal committee  members  
at the Government  House, Abakaliki on Friday.

Umahi, who challenged the leadership of the PDP  in the state to be
transparent and accountable to the party members and the public, said
anybody   believing  he(Umahi) would leave  the PDP  for the All Progressives Congress   was
sleeping. 
 "If anybody tells you that this man (Umahi) is going to APC, tell the person
that he should wake up from sleep,” he said in a statement on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Emma Anya.

Stressing that  the “APC does not win election in this state," he added  that since  his PDP-led administration had   “done very  well in the state” , it cannot be arm- twisted.

  ''There is no local government  area that you will not beat your chest and say
there is a road project going on . We are not building ordinary roads.  We are not doing any road without asphalt  and stone base,” he pointed out  . 
The governor   told the party chiefs that for them to succeed, they must avoid   taking bribes   and embezzling  party’s funds.

He said,   "If they give you money and say is for 10  people,  tell them it  is
for 10 people.    The worst thing in life  is to eat the money that is supposed  to go to three   or four people alone.   No man ever has enough.  What is important is contentment and Godliness. “

 
The state chairman of   the PDP, Onyekachi Nwebonyi, assured of their
unflinching support to   Governor Umahi  in justifying the mandate
given to him by the people.
